In this study we have examined the
interaction between CD44 (a hyaluronan (HA) receptor) and the
transforming growth factor (TGF- ) receptors (a family of
serine/threonine kinase membrane receptors) in human metastatic breast
tumor cells (MDA-MB-231 cell line). Immunological data indicate that
both CD44 and TGF- receptors are expressed in MDA-MB-231 cells and
that CD44 is physically linked to the TGF- receptor I (TGF- RI)
(and to a lesser extent to the TGF- receptor II (TGF- RII)) as a
complex in vivo. Scatchard plot analyses and in
vitro binding experiments show that the cytoplasmic domain of
CD44 binds to TGF- RI at a single site with high affinity (an
apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of ~1.78
nM). These findings indicate that TGF- RI contains a
CD44-binding site. Furthermore, we have found that the binding
of HA to CD44 in MDA-MB-231 cells stimulates TGF- RI serine/threonine
kinase activity which, in turn, increases Smad2/Smad3 phosphorylation
and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP) production (well known
downstream effector functions of TGF- signaling). Most importantly,
TGF- RI kinase activated by HA phosphorylates CD44, which enhances
its binding interaction with the cytoskeletal protein, ankyrin, leading to HA-mediated breast tumor cell migration. Overexpression of TGF- RI
by transfection of MDA-MB-231 cells with TGF- RIcDNA stimulates formation of the CD44·TGF- RI complex, the association of
ankyrin with membranes, and HA-dependent/CD44-specific
breast tumor migration. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest
that CD44 interaction with the TGF- RI kinase promotes activation of
multiple signaling pathways required for ankyrin-membrane interaction,
tumor cell migration, and important oncogenic events (e.g.
Smad2/Smad3 phosphorylation and PTH-rP production) during HA and
TGF- -mediated metastatic breast tumor progression.
